Patience
I wasn't born a fisherman
And I wasn't born a schoolgirl
And I wasn't born a tree of leaves
And I wasn't born o lordy lord
Cause I was a bold and tireless worker
And I wasn't born an indian
And I wasn't born arabian
And I wasn't born a man with a dream to just let it falter
And I wasn't born o! A welldigger
And I wasn't born o! A fleshy thing
And I wasn't born a thing to be scorned
A thing to be ignored
And I will align myself with nothing
And I will enjoin my heart with no-one's
Cause I was untried
When I was applied the light of birth
And I wasn't born o! To tell the truth
And I wasn't born o! To sleep with ruth
We're miles apart
And I have no heart for weeks between coupling
Well, I could bide my time with girls that live in town
With those who seem always to be hangeing around
But it would not seem right to pa** the night
With one not my true love
And I will align myself with nothing
And I will enjoin my heart with no-one's
Cause I was untried
When I was applied the light of birth
